In the event a student decides to withdraw completely and officially from the University, the student is required to notify the Registrar’s Office prior to or upon the date of withdrawal from classes. Tuition and Fees will be refunded in accordance with the University’s Refund Policy as stated below.

A Registration Fee is charged only once, upon enrollment. Tuition and Technology Fees are charged for each eight-week academic period of enrollment. The student is only liable for tuition and technology fees for the eight-week period in which the student enrolls, in addition to any prior unpaid balances.

Termination of Student: Students can be dismissed on the following grounds:

1. Determination by the Registrar that the student’s academic credentials considered for admission are incomplete, have been forged or altered in any manner.

2. Failure to comply with attendance and conduct policies.

3. Failure to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.

4. Failure to pay tuition.
